Failing to install dependencies does not always fail packages which require them, leaving chocolatey in a broken state

What You Are Seeing?

When a dependency fails to install, the failure does not prevent other packages which depend on it from installing.

What is Expected?

Failing to install a dependency should not permit anything that depends on it to still install.

How Did You Get This To Happen?

1. Download download.zip and extract to C:\packages
2. choco upgrade rootpackageA rootpackageB -y -s c:\packages
3. The reported failure is rootpackageB despite it not actually depending on the failing dependency nested-dependencyA-failing, and rootpackageA is permitted to install, despite this placing Chocolatey in a broken state where you cannot install any more packages until you rip out all the installed packages further up in the dependency chain.

I have also experienced this issue when installing/upgrading a package with git version >=2.45.0 and <2.46.0 as dependency. git.install fails to install (likely because git 2.46 was already installed) but the git installation and the installation of the package that requires git succeed:

By upgrading, you accept licenses for the packages.

git.install v2.45.2 (forced) [Approved]
git.install package files upgrade completed. Performing other installation steps.

After that packages that are completely unrelated fail to install with:

[NuGet] One or more unresolved package dependency constraints detected in the Chocolatey lib folder. All dependency constraints must be resolved to add or update packages. If these packages are being updated this message may be ignored, if not the following error(s) may be blocking the current package operation: '<package_name> <package_version> constraint: git (>= 2.45.0 && < 2.46.0)'

git should fail to install if git.install fails to install
